Tracking Recovery After Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a Fitbit activity tracker to monitor your physical recovery after breast reconstruction surgery using your own tissue (DIEP flap). By tracking your movement and activity before and after surgery, researchers hope to better understand normal recovery patterns and improve surgical care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have a scheduled DIEP flap breast reconstruction (using tissue from your abdomen)
- You own a smartphone or tablet that can connect to a Fitbit Inspire 3 device
- You are willing to wear a wrist activity tracker continuously for 3 weeks before surgery and 3 months after surgery
- You do not have a skin condition, allergy, or wound on your wrist that would prevent safe use of the tracker
- You are not having another major surgery at the same time as your reconstruction
